City Temple
City Temple: In the City but not 'of' the City. This is a non-conformist church with a poly-cultural congregation and behind the Victorian facade is a post-war building full of surprises.
St Stephen Wallbrook
This is said to be the most perfectly proportioned building in the world. It is also where Samaritans began its life and where you can sing to your hearts content every week.
St Katharine Cree
St Katharine Cree was built to keep the riff raff out of the nearby Priory. It pre-dates the Great Fire of London. Every year a sermon is preached from here entitled 'In the Lion's Den'. And most movingly, it is the church where people who have a connection to the sinking of the Lancastria (1940) remember this tragedy. All of this, and more, is shared in this podcast - the 30th in the series.
Salvation Army IHQ Chapel
Hidden in plain sight, this floating chapel is a lovely space. Listen to Dawn Heatwole share some unusual stories about the Salvation Army and its founder William and Catherine Booth in this podcast.
575 Wandsworth Road
Behind a very plain door of an ordinary terraced house on a main road in South West London you’ll find the incredible craftsmanship, vision and atmosphere as created by the […]
St Giles Cripplegate
In the middle of the brutalist Barbican stands the medieval church of St Giles Cripplegate with some prominent and some touchingly simple memorials to many famous men, and one intriguing woman.
St Clement Eastcheap
The smallest and least obvious of all City of London churches, St Clement Eastcheap is the church that features in the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons'. Today it's an office!
St Nicholas Cole Abbey
Fish, coffee and smudgy windows all appear in this beautifully restored Christopher Wren church which is also very well attended by the young city workforce.
All Hallows London Wall
No other City of London church is as surprising as this one. Its bleak and foreboding exterior betrays its crisp classical and bright interior.
St Sepulchre without Newgate
This church has the great combination of music and death! And who was St Sepulchre?
St Mary Aldermary
St Mary Aldermary is one of the few 17th century gothic churches you'll find in the City of London. At lunch you'll hear the hum of local workers enjoying their break but at the start and end of the day the relaxed breath of a meditation group.
St Vedast Alias Foster
St Vedast Alias Foster has a secret garden containing an ancient Syrian rock familiar to Agatha Christie, a Roman pavement and a memorial to a Russian soldier who is described thus: "This was a man".
St James Garlickhythe
Start your pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela here, but before you leave don't forget to listen to the church's famous bells and look for the mummified corpse hiding in the tower.
St Lawrence Jewry
Prominently placed on Guildhall Yard, this grand church has strong links with the City of London Corporation and the livery companies. Step inside for ceremonies, symbols and sensational stained glass windows.
St Botolph without Aldgate
Just outside the eastern gate of the City of London, the welcoming church of St Botolph without Aldgate hides London's oldest organ. Hear it played and enjoy its Georgian surroundings.
St Michael Cornhill
St Michael Cornhill looks like like all the other 18th century City churches on the outside, but walk inside to find a church full of Victorian gothic details.
